Marriage is also about freedom to marry who you wish.
Homosexual "marriage" would certainly limit the spread of HIV/AIDS, whatever one's moral feelings on the issue.
funny thing is that the same arguments I hear against gays getting married are the same panic-farming fear-monger type arguments I hear against guns.
If we let gays get Married, they will rape your children!
what in the hell?
if you sit down and think about it, Consenting ADULTS getting married to each other is no ones business except those two adults. One Might even go further and say that ANY number of adults getting married is no ones business except them as Monogamy has its roots as a religious practice!
So if a woman wanted to have two Husbands and none of them cared, who is to say its wrong?
If a White woman wants to marry an Asian man, Why in the hell should any of us care?
If two Women want to live together as wives or whatever naming convention they choose, who cares?
They consent, it's their lives, their business. It's not like keeping the lipstick Lesbians from marrying each other will improve any of your odds of getting Laid![]()
I agree with Stuart and Byte, obviously.
Furthermore, the only real reason I see to be against gay marriage is religion. I see no other actual reason to be against it. Some people seem to forget that the amendment that came before our beloved 2nd calls for freedom of religion, and defining a seperation of church and state.
There is no logical reason gay marriage is not allowed. I also hate how the Republican party has become so focused on religion. It makes me sick.
